Ozil told the club's ex-players to "stop talking and start supporting"

The German has often been singled out since joining from Madrid

Arsenal player Mesut Ozil has kicked off on Facebook after frequent criticism from former Gunners players. 

Ozil is often targetted when things go wrong at the Emirates, as they have done so far this season, with just one win from their opening four games. 

However, the German international has bit back in a stinging Facebook post. 

"Personally I've had to accept a lot of criticism during my time in London," Ozil wrote.

"Too expensive, too greedy, bad body language, and lacking fight - this is what people have said about me," he said.

"Some of these comments are made by those who do not know me, some are made by former players - both successful and unsuccessful during their time here at the club.

"Although criticism is something that all football players have to deal with, I nevertheless expected legends to behave like legends - my advice to these former Gunners is stop talking and start supporting."
